Chapter 9 Flower Arrangement and Shortcuts
"Mr. Lu, you have worked this hot day in vain, thank you, thank you." Zhang Yuan took a long time, and ordered Wuling to hurry up to serve tea.
Lu Yungu got up and returned the salute, didn't look at Zhang Cao on the side, and said, "I'll come for a follow-up visit to see how your eyesight is recovering, please retreat from the idle people." ”
Zhang Cao knew that Lu Yungu couldn't get used to him, so he immediately sneered, and ridiculed Lu Yungu and said: "There are still idle people waiting to retreat, you think you are the commander of Shanyin County." ”
Lu Yungu got up angrily and bowed his hand to Zhang Yuanyi: "Farewell." ”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, please wait a moment." ”
Lu Yungu saw Zhang Yuan walking towards him blindfolded, worried that Zhang Yuan would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhang Yuan and said, "Let's go back to the door after the next change." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Lu, wait a minute, listen to me first." He turned to Zhang Yuan and said, "Third brother, do you remember what you said?" ”
Zhang Cao's momentum suddenly frustrated, his head wilted, and he replied helplessly: "I won't forget." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Lu is here to treat me, how can you be so rude, quickly apologize to Mr. Lu." ”
Lu Yungu's eyes widened, Zhang Cao's unruly is notoriously unruly, even if his father Zhang Baosheng wants Zhang Cao to apologize to others, it is only afraid that it will be difficult, Zhang Cao will listen to the words of his brother Zhang Yuan?
Seeing Zhang Cao's face purple, his head turned around, as if he was about to break free of something, he suddenly lowered his head, walked in front of Lu Yungu, bowed to the ground, and said in a sullen voice: "Mr. Lu, I have offended a lot, so I have taken my leave." He turned around a few steps and rushed out of the hall, and walked away.
Lu Yungu was stunned and asked for a while: "Brother Jiezi, is that person really Zhang Cao and Zhang Yanke?" ”
Zhang Yuan smiled: "How can this be wrong, my brother-Mr. Lu, please take a seat." ”
Lu Yungu sat down, shook his head and smiled: "Zhang Yanke changed his surname, and he would apologize to Lu, which is also a strange story." ”
The little Xi Nu Wuling on the side was happy, couldn't control his mouth, and said: "Mr. Lu doesn't know, my young master just won the bet with Yanke Gongzi, and Yanke Gongzi must listen to my young master in the future." ”
"What lost and won again?" Lu Yungu was confused.
Zhang Yuan explained: "It's reading a book and letting me guess the title of the book. ”
Lu Yungu laughed, it was really not easy to make the famous gentleman Zhang Yan soft, and asked, "Which book is the bet on?" ”
Zhang Yuan coughed and replied: ""Golden Vase Plum". ”
Lu Yungu thought for a moment, he had never heard of such a book, and asked: "Is it a general discussion of flower arrangement with Yuan Zhonglang's "Bottle History"?" ”
There are bottles and plums, isn't it flower arrangement?
Zhang Yuan was drinking tea with a cup, and he sprayed "poof", coughing non-stop.
The little girl Rabbit Pavilion hurriedly stroked the young master's back.
Lu Yungu said in the tone of a healer: "Don't talk when drinking tea and eating, just don't be in a hurry to speak, speak slowly." Then he asked, "Is it about flower arrangement?" ”
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to reply: "It's almost, there are also those who talk about flower arrangement." ”
Lu Yungu said: "Can "Golden Vase Plum" also borrow Lu Mou's reading?" ”
Zhang Yuan said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, the book belongs to Zhang Yanke." ”
Lu Yungu said "oh", no longer asked about "Golden Vase Plum", walked in front of Zhang Yuan, let Zhang Yuan sit with his backlight, then took off the blindfold, carefully examined Zhang Yuan's eyes, asked for a long time, nodded and said: "Brother Jie Zi's heart can calm down, this is very good, your eye disease is because you like to eat sugar too much since you were a child, and your surname is anxious for the liver to be hot, you must first raise your surname, your surname is peaceful, your heart is calm and clear, your ears are naturally deaf and your eyes are clear, your eye disease will be cured soon - today is June 22, As long as you don't walk in the hot sun, don't look at the candles, and don't wear an eye patch indoors, you can't read and write. ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Remember, thank you Mr. Lu for your careful examination." He said in his heart: "It seems that I need a pair of sunglasses, I don't know if those Westerners in Macau sell sunglasses." ”
Lu Yungu said that he was free today, and came to Zhang Yuan for a follow-up consultation, and by the way, he also wanted to talk to Zhang Yuan.
The two of them sat on the verandah outside the main hall, shaking their fans and chatting.
Before the afternoon of the long summer, looking at the incandescent light outside the eaves, the green bricks on the floor seem to be evaporating the heat, this kind of weather can sit in the shade of the eaves and wave a fan to chat, and occasionally there is a fresh breeze.
Lu Yungu is in a very good mood, every time he talks to this fifteen-year-old boy, he has a refreshing and sudden feeling, many things that he can't figure out, but this young man can say a word, such as chopsticks in the water cup, why does the section on the water surface and the section in the water seem to be bent?
Lu Yungu thought to himself: "How could this young man in Dongzhang be unknown before, they all said that Zhang Zongzi of Xizhang and Qi Huzi of the Qi clan in the south of the city are the two major prodigies in this county, in my opinion, this Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jiezi are definitely not below those two, but I am afraid that they are better than those two." ”
……
In the evening, Zhang's mother Lu came back from Jianhu Grange, saying that the harvest was not good, and the tenants' wheat rent was only 60%, and the harvest had not been good in recent years.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Isn't the first half of the year all smooth and rainy, how can the harvest be bad, there are all good fields on the Jianhu Lake, as long as there is no flooding, where will the harvest be bad every year!" ”
Zhang Yuan had a feeling that Zhang Cai's father, Zhang Dachun, was very likely to profit from it, because his father Zhang Ruiyang had been away for a long time, and his mother Lu was a woman after all, and Zhang Dachun's land rent had been taken care of by Zhang Dachun over the years.
Zhang Yuan is just taking these questions to heart now, his eyes are not good, it is not appropriate to worry too much, and it is not too late to help his mother take care of these things after completely taking off the blindfold, usually pay more attention.
The next time, Fan Zhen and Zhan Shiyuan came to read the "Collection of the Spring and Autumn Classics" for Zhang Yuan as usual, and after reading a volume, chatting about time, Fan Zhen said: "Does Young Master Jie Zi know about Yanke Gongzi?" ”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuan asked.
Fan Zhen said: "Yanke Gongzi was drunk yesterday evening, carried a bamboo whip, beat people when he saw them, and later asked someone to blindfold him, saying that he wanted to meditate to open Su Hui, full of nonsense, stumbling and drunk. ”
Fan Zhen and Zhan Shiyuan knew that Zhang Cao came to Zhang Yuan yesterday, and they went crazy as soon as they went back, I wonder if it was triggered by Zhang Yuan's words?
Zhang Yuan said: "The third brother is an extremely smart person, he is a thousand miles of horses, and thousands of miles of horses will not be tamed, well, it will be fine slowly." ”
After a few more days, Fan Zhen said to Zhang Yuan: "Young Master Yanke has been learning to meditate these days, and he is blindfolded, although he doesn't know what to say, but he is obviously a young master who learns from Jiezi, I don't know why?" ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The third brother listened to me that day, his heart was calm and wise, his ears were better than his eyes, and his writing was more firm, presumably because of this." ”
Fan and Zhan both laughed.
Fan Zhen looked at Zhang Yuan's half-squinted eyes, this fifteen-year-old boy looked elegant when he removed the blindfold, but he was still a little childish, but his demeanor and tone were still steady and calm, Fan Zhen thought to herself: "Is there really such a thing, can you remember it more firmly when you listen to books?" But this young man is really a good teacher. ”
Zhang Yuan learned from Fan and Zhan that if you want to take the test for children and show talents, the books you must read are as follows:
"Notes on the Collection of Four Books", "Filial Piety", "Primary School", "Five Classics" Commentary, "Zhou Li", "Etiquette", "Spring and Autumn Three Legends", "Chinese", "Warring States Policy", "Surname Li", "Selected Literature", "Eight Family Anthology", "Article Authenticity"——
It is preliminarily estimated that it will take at least three years to familiarize yourself with these books, and then select one of the five classics as the scripture, and the county examination and the government examination are all from the scriptures, Zhang Yuan chose the scriptures for himself is the "Spring and Autumn Period", and the thirty volumes of the "Spring and Autumn Classics Collection and Explanation" He has listened to Fan and Zhan read them, and he has memorized them, but he didn't expect to read so many books.
But I heard Fan Zhen say again: "There are also those who take advantage of the trick to be admitted to Xiucai, and they don't read other books, they only read the "Notes on the Four Books Collection" and the scriptures, and then figure out the eight current texts, and there are a lot of them in the exam. ”
――――――――――――――――――
As soon as the blindfold is removed, I have it in the world, haha, continue to ask for votes.
